Merchant City, Glasgow
Cuisine: British, Mediterranean, Gastro Pub
An inviting space with a cool, contemporary décor, Avant Garde is a lively music bar and restaurant on King Street in the Merchant City.

32 Castle street, EH2 3HT
City Centre, Edinburgh
Cuisine: British, Scottish, Traditional
Badger & Co is on Castle Street in the former home of Kenneth Grahame, the author of Wind in the Willows. This history plays a prominent part in the decor. Think Toad Hall’s padded leather seats, chandeliers and wood panelled walls. There are deer heads wearing wigs and a picture of a well dressed badger riding a penny farthing. It’s how a 21st century hipster might imagine an Edwardian gentleman’s club. As well as a private dining room, there are several intriguing nooks and crannies and a courtyard for al fresco drinks and dining.
1 Chambers Street, EH1 1HR
Old Town, Edinburgh
Cuisine: British, Gastro Pub
Biblos is on Chambers Street in the atmospheric Old Town. Handy for Edinburgh Uni, and with licensing hours which are very popular with students, Biblos is open from breakfast until the small hours. The wall-to- ceiling, wraparound windows are great for people watching, particularly during the Festival. Part of Biblos, the adjacent B Bar runs live music every night. The cocktail list begs to be explored thoroughly.
24 Howe Street, EH3 6DG
Stockbridge, Edinburgh
Cuisine: British, European, Vegetarian/Vegan
Mother’s Bar and Kitchen is a gin-focused bar on Howe Street in Edinburgh’s New Town. It is a fun place with bowler hat lights hanging over the bar alongside the occasional touch of Victoriana and big screens for the major sporting events. There are booths, banquette seating, a couple of nooks and crannies plus a compact outside seating area for the sunny days. In short, Mother’s will look after you whether you want to watch the match with friends, have brunch with family or dinner with a date.
48-52 Constitution Street, EH6 6RS
Leith, Edinburgh
Cuisine: British, Vegetarian/Vegan, Modern
A good-looking hangout, The Constitution Bar is, not surprisingly, on Leith’s Constitution Street. Stripped stone walls, clever lighting and simple, comfy seating give it a contemporary feel. Live music, plenty of sports and a great selection of interesting beers from Scotland and beyond mean that it always has a buzz about it. The outside seating is popular for al fresco beer-supping when the sun is out.
